Abstract
Microcystins are potent toxins produced by cyanobacteria under poorly understood environmental conditions. Fur is a transcriptional repressor involved in sensing iron availability and oxidative stress. Fur from Microcystis aeruginosa binds promoter regions of mcy gene cluster, suggesting that Fur might regulate the expression of genes involved in microcystin synthesis.
